Introduction 1 DATA EXPRESS® DE75i-A66 INTRODUCTION Packaging Information The StorCase Technology Data Express® system is shipped in a container designed to provide protection and prevent damage during shipment. The Data Express unit was carefully inspected before and during the packing procedure at the factory. Bent or broken connectors, or evidence of other damage to the Data Express should be reported to the shipper immediately. Refer to Figure 1 for the package contents.
2 Introduction Package Contents The DE75i-A66 package contents include the following items: Table 1: Shipping Contents One StorCase Data Express AT/IDE Removable Enclosure Part Number DE75i-A66 (Carrier & RF) DE75i-CA66 (Carrier) DE75i-RA66 (Receiving Frame) Drive Carrier DE75i-CA66 (1) Receiving Frame DE75i-RA66 (1) (1) Alignment Tool D45-0000-0037 (1) (1) Phillips Mounting Screws (#6-32 x 3/16 F.H.
Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE75i-A66 is a removable low-profile drive carrier and receiving frame. The DE75i-A66 is designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one (1) 3.5 low profile Ultra ATA/66 drive within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2). It is downward compatible with earlier technology AT/IDE drives.
4 Introduction Receiving Frame Front Panel (Figure 3) The Key Lock/Drive Power Switch performs three functions. The key lock assures proper seating of the drive carrier within the receiving frame, turns power to the drive carrier on and off, and prevents unauthorized removal or installation of the carrier. For the computer to access data on the DE75i-A66 drive, the key must be turned counterclockwise to the locked position.
Introduction 5 Receiving Frame Rear Panel (Figure 4) DC Power Connector (P1): The Data Express uses a standard 4-pin DC Power Connector to accept DC power. I/O Connector (JP6): The input/output connector provides a standard interface for all IDE signals. See Table 3 for JP1 pin assignments. Master/Slave Selection (JP4): Master/Slave Drive configuration. Refer to the "Installation" section for more specific information.
6 Installation DE75i-A66 INSTALLATION Installing the Drive into the Carrier Preparation While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive shock to the drive being installed. Also refer to the manufacturer's documentation provided with the drive. NOTE: A #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required during this procedure. 1. Remove the drive from its protective packaging. 2.
Installation 7 The appropriate pins on the drive must be connected to JP3 and/or JP4 on the carrier board. These connections are required to set the Master/Slave configurations of the installed drive. Figure 5 illustrates the Drive Carrier Circuit Board. Figure 5: DE75i-A66 Drive Carrier Circuit Board The JP3 and JP4 connectors have 3 pins each: Pin 1 should be connected to the Master signal of the disk drive. This signal indicates that this is the Master C: drive.
8 Installation Figure 6: Typical Ultra ATA/66 Master/Slave Drive Connections Typical Ultra ATA/66 drive pin positions are shown in Figure 6. Remove and save all jumpers. Install a wire (not provided) connecting the appropriate drive pins to the appropriate JP3 and JP4 pins as shown in Figure 6. Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for further information.
Installation 9 Installation 1. Attach the I/O cable on the drive carrier circuit board to the drive. Refer to Figure 7 for an illustration of the installation process. 2. Attach the 4-pin power cable on the drive carrier circuit board to the drive. If you are installing only one drive carrier, skip to Step 4. 3.
10 Installation Installing the Receiving Frame The drive should be installed into the carrier before installing the receiving frame into the mounting bay of the computer chassis. NOTE: Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver during this procedure. 1. Turn OFF power to the computer. 2. Open the computer system according to the manufacturers instructions. If necessary, temporarily remove any expansion boards that may make installation difficult. 3.
Installation 11 Figure 9: Receiving Frame Mounting Holes 5. Adjust the front of the receiving frame so the carrier slides freely in and out on the receiving frame guides. The position of adjoining peripheral units may require adjustment. 6. To connect the drive to a Remote Activity LED in the computer system, connect the appropriate cable(s) to the receiving frame rear panel as shown in Figure 4. Connect JP6 Pins 17 and 18 to a remote activity LED. 7.
12 Installation Selecting the Unit ID Number 1. Verify that power is turned on to the DE75i-A66 receiving frame by turning on the computer. A number should appear in the unit display window if the carrier is locked in place. 2. Unlock the DE75i-A66 drive carrier and remove it from the receiving frame. A "u" will be displayed initially when the unit is unlocked but will return to a number when the carrier is removed from the receiving frame.
Installation 13 Unit ID Select Switch Settings The following table lists the Unit ID Select Switch settings and the valid AT/IDE unit numbers. Please note that all invalid switch settings have shaded boxes and result in a blank display in the receiving frame display window. Table 2: Unit ID Select Switch Settings Switch Setting AT/IDE Unit No.
